A government has power only if it does exercise it. If all government employees sat around all day and did nothing, the government would be powerless. The more a government exercises power, the more power it takes away from others (like the people).
It's only through action that power manifests (and the inaction of others to oppose the use and abuse of that power).
- anoncake 7y ago> A government has power only if it does exercise it. If all government employees sat around all day and did nothing, the government would be powerless. The more a government exercises power, the more power it takes away from others That's bullshit. A government can't take away power from others by exercising the power it doesn't have yet. > (like the people). A democratic state cannot take away power from the people, the people cannot take away power from itself. And non-democratic states don't have a legitimate government anyway.
